Hike 43: Malpais de Güimar
The small but nice hike in Puertito de Güimar does not lead to the pyramids but through a nature reserve directly on the coast. Despite the easy route, the ground is quite bumpy and hiking shoes are recommended. We park in the lower part of the village and start the loop slightly uphill to the left, circling the large candelabra spurge.
After just under 3 km, the path leads to the sea. Here it becomes somewhat spectacular. Even with little wind, the surf rushes and the waves crash high against the rocks. The path leads gently up and down with a view of the sea and hinterland back to the starting point. In sunshine, the plants and rocks together with the sea provide a harmonious contrast.
A detailed description of the route and the GPS track can be found in the Hiking Guide Tenerife.
